Excuse me, but this is the first time that I have ever been on a list at all. I don't know how these things run and I didn't want to post my complete family history to the entire list. I have gotten a few responses back from people who are willing to try and help me. I don't understand the negative responses that I have gotten. My husband is on a mailing list and that whole list posts things all the time asking questions and helping out where needed. I really don't understand why you or anyone else would have such a negative attitude towards my email as that won't help anyone in solving their problems or situations. The negative attitudes that I received make it hard to even talk to anyone about my problem or ask for help. This is the first time I have tried to get help through a list or been on a list. I wanted to know if anyone could help me and I am willing to give more information to individuals who might be able to help, but I don't want to post my whole family history on the internet. I am NOT looking for a new way to get junk mail. ----- Original Message ----- From: "wilma windes" <wjcook@hotmail.com> To: <GEN-UNSOLVED-MYSTERIES-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, August 22, 2000 3:06 PM Subject: Re: family mystery Please help > I AGREE!!!
